Bio
George A. Pappas
Manos and I worked on TalentCards (Android) from its inception until the end of Manos' time at Epignosis. Frequently we would would work in direct tandem; I would provide Design guidance live and Manos would quickly respond to the requests necessary to fulfil the design's needs. Working in this way with Manos we rapidly managed to get our MVP to market. Manos is a lovely, jovial colleague - always kind and attentive. During our time working together, Manos developed an increased understanding of the value of Design and how design goes hand in hand with development to create a pleasing, useful, and valuable to the end-user result. I wish him every success in all his future endeavours!

During my time working with Emmanouil, he demonstrated himself to be someone with immense technical knowledge with an excellent work ethic. Emmanouil was a champion of best practices in our team. He was always on the lookout for new libraries, technologies etc that we could incorporate into our product or system. When I was away, Emmanouil stepped into the Lead Android Engineer role with ease and led the team effectively. In addition to all this, he was also a pleasure to deal with.

Moreover, I fully participated in mentoring other team members and contributing to a wider audience through a series of launch and learn presentations. Achievements : I created a POC engine, that monitors and records your driving behaviour allowing users to review past trips. By creating that POC, Allstate was able to negotiate a better price when buying the a driving engine.
